Hello Liberty Lily,
I am so sorry to hear about all of the challenges that you and your husband are currently experiencing.
You are both surviving and finding solutions.
I hope your husband continues to enjoy his new job.
It is great that your husband has been able to see his GP and will be starting counselling soon. I hope this talking therapy really helps him and eases his mental suffering.
It is so sad and unfair that your husband is being sued for £20,000 by that unsatisfied customer.She has proved to be a total nightmare. It is now apparent why her previous contractor was happy to terminate working with her on her house.
Good luck in selling your current home and moving back to England.4 -
Thanks so much Sugarbaby 😊 Your kind and wise words are very much appreciated as always xxx4

Hi everyone ......just a quick catch up.Lily. So sorry to hear about your ongoing problems, especially your husbands health issues. It is very stressful for both of you. Sending 💐❤️ Good luck with your proposed house move, sounds like a good plan. Moving house was definitely the right thing for me. I am very happy here although of course it's only a temporary move. I still need to look for my onwards purchase but there is no real urgency.All is good here, just started snowing. Hopefully it will be winters last hurrah and spring will be on its heels.I have just finished a course of chiro treatments, absolutely gruelling but well worth it. Other than that not much news. Still working on de-frumping, currently undergoing dental work. Not pleasant but needs must.Take care all, keep warm and keep fabbing.6

Thank you for your kind words and thoughts, Helen 😊
You definitely did the right thing, moving when you did and once you get your health/teeth issues sorted and find a lovely new place to buy, you'll feel like a new woman 😁

I didn't realise this thread was still open!
Wow, you have had a lot going on Lily, that is a huge decision to move back. I hope it all goes smoothly.
Watty - I'm glad you have made progress on your situation, that must be a weight off your mind.4 -
@liberty_lily good luck with the move, coming back to my home area of the leafy Cheshire suburbs was the best thing I have done.2021 Decluttering Awards: ⭐⭐🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 2022 Decluttering Awards: 🥇

Well I finally disposed of a cardigan that definitely made me feel frumpy. It was a warm one and not expensive, perhaps should have kept it till the end of winter, I just didn't want to spend anymore time trying to bring myself back up again. One less thing to worry about right now.
Stay gorgeous ladies
